One of the most frustrating things with Mail has finally pushed me to the point of utter annoyance.

Whenever I copy and paste URLs into Mail it constantly breaks the links up in seperate lines which, to the non-technical-savy people out there in the world, basically renders those links useless. I would think it does this to insure that emails are sent with only a certain character width to insure compatability across different email apps or something to that effect.

Well, forget compatability! Does anybody know how I can force Mail to not break up my links?

For example my link would look like this:

Instead of this:

(The other most frustrating thing with Mail is the fact that I can't have it automatically check my email for spelling errors and make suggestions when I click "send").

as re: the spelling issue, just turn on "check spelling as you type"

as per the line-breaking issue, are you sure the problem is with Mail.app, and not with whatever client people are viewing your mail in? I have no problem sending links that wrap to more than one line...

..... it's because Mail.app doesn't send out html emails. [only receive]

the links can only be an X amount of characters long, after that, it'll break it up.

the only solution i came up with is to use a site like www.makeashorterlink.com to correct this.

you can go into their FAQ section and copy + paste the "direct link" code into your browser's toolbar for direct/automatic 'shorter link' when you're on a website you want to use on that site.
